Creating the Easy Chicken Pot Pie is simple and requires just a few steps. Follow these instructions closely for best results:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare Filling: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour, onion powder, and garlic powder, whisking until smooth. Gradually add chicken broth and milk, whisking continuously until thickened (about 5 minutes).

3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

4. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out your prepared pie crust into a pie dish. You can also keep it in its original packaging if you’re using store-bought.

5. Fill the Crust: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring even distribution.

6. Top with Crust: Place a second pie crust over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges together. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

7. Egg Wash (Optional): For a golden crust, brush the top crust with a beaten egg before baking.

8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

10. Serve: Cut into slices and serve warm.

Following these steps will result in an incredible pot pie that showcases all the flavors you love about this classic dish.
